My husband and I had the wonderful opportunity to work with Kiera during my pregnancy and labor. During our first meeting, I knew that Kiera was a great fit because of her calm and gentle nature. Right away she listened to my wishes for my pregnancy and labor and lent me a plethora of books directly addressing my concerns and topics that I wanted to learn more about. Specifically, I was interested in learning Hypnobirthing techniques, and did not have the ability to take classes in the local area. Kiera helped me learn about and feel very comfortable practicing hypnobirthing techniques leading up to my delivery. During our prenatal visits, Kiera was immensely helpful, talking through birth related fears with me, offering many helpful suggestions on how to work through them in a healthy way. She also did a thorough job showing my husband and I Spinning Babies and rebozo techniques to practice at home leading up to and during labor. Once we arrived at the hospital during labor, Kiera went to work immediately, ensuring a calm and peaceful atmosphere, complete with positive affirmations posted on the walls in every corner of the hospital room. This made such a difference! Keira’s work with my husband during labor was seamless, as if it was rehearsed many times. She was such a great asset to the birthing room, setting a calm a positive atmosphere, and made sure that my husband had all of the tools that he needed in order to comfort and help me through my labor drug free. Kiera ended up staying with me in the hospital through labor, delivery, and post delivery, which was about 24 hours. She never skipped a beat! I really couldn’t have asked for a better support person to help me navigate a very long and exhausting labor.
